I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Taplow. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as usual given that all rents and service charges will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
